Take every promise made to you with a pinch of salt, except the ones in the good old Book.

[Dave @Sir_folami]

it’s His grace and the grace you extend to yourself that can pick you back up. Everything and everyone else will fall short of their promises because, at the end of the day, it’s a solo ride. Everyone wants to make the best choices for their own lives.

[Dave @Sir_folami]

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a Stoic, but I think it’s important, especially as a man, to learn to embrace pain because it’s inevitable. Learn to give yourself grace, too, because when you feel like you ain’t worthy or deserving of anything.

@get_carbon please tell me how your customer service replies to each message at an interval of 30 minutes!

[Dave @Sir_folami]

@get_carbon please I hope I don’t have to tweet every time I need to resolve an issue. Cause that just proves my point. Please I need my issue to be attended to swiftly

[Dave @Sir_folami]

@get_carbon is such a frustrating bank. They had potential but lost the plot. Horrible customer service and response time, and worst of it the platform is actually unreliable

[Dave @Sir_folami]

@get_carbon Please check your dm

@Vince_lesiba @sholard_mancity After that display?

[Dave @Sir_folami]

When I eventually get over that line, the next version of me will come for everything, everything I can squeeze out of life I will get.

Voter registration is ongoing.

You know what to do.
Shalom.

[Dave @Sir_folami]

I could come here and talk, trying to put together words that sound politically correct and encouraging to the people, but the truth is, I know you're tired.

[Dave @Sir_folami]

You have a responsibility to your future and to the future of the family you so much desire to have. If we don't take back this country, you will become a citizen of a failed state.

@everythingBrymo is genuinely a genius. To know art at that level of intimacy is remarkable

[Dave @Sir_folami]

Project Nchèta was different.
We didn’t layer culture on top.
We let it shape the thinking from the inside.
The result: spaces that felt nostalgic but not old.
Modern without copying Europe.
Emotional without being theatrical.

[Dave @Sir_folami]

Most African brands don’t have a branding problem.
They have a cultural confidence problem.
A thread on Project Nchèta — what happened when an interior design brand stopped “adding culture” and started designing from it

[Dave @Sir_folami]

Too many African luxury brands treat culture like decoration:
• A local name
• Some Ankara
• Tribal patterns
• Drums in the soundtrack
That’s not cultural storytelling.
That’s set design.
